Here are just some of the things publishing
veterans say about Elizabeth Zack:
"Just last week I was
talking to a local writer about “editors I have known” and I said
you are absolutely the best!….Professional thoroughness, promptness,
and cleverness in making the best out of my manuscripts. Especially dear to my heart
was the sense of camaraderie that I felt when working together on
our projects….I am grateful for all your help.”—JOAN MATHEWS LARSON,
PH.D., best-selling author of Depression-Free, Naturally
and Seven Weeks
to Sobriety
“Over the past several years I have worked with
Elizabeth, first as the editor of my nonfiction project (The
Wisdom of St. Patrick), and then as a publishing colleague at
Ballantine Books—and I can, with great confidence and enthusiasm,
recommend her a talented
editor who has “saved” any number of books and substantially
improved others, including my own. She handles books and
authors with great respect and skill.”—GREG TOBIN, author of
Conclave and Credo and former Editor-in-Chief of
Book-of-the-Month Club and Ballantine Books
"We initially were referred to Elizabeth Zack
to help us with our book proposal. Her expert 'doctoring' resulted
in an excellent prospectus and eventual book contract...Her work is
professional and smart. She has a canny ability to bring life to a
manusript, while maintaining the integrity of your work.
She has an authoritative, energetic, confident style where you
always feel her partnership and dedication to shaping and improving
your project. Importantly, she always responds in a timely
manner. She is a pleasure to work with, and any author would
feel well-served by working iwth her."--Beth Grosshans, Ph.D. and
Janet Burton, LCSW, authors, Beyond Time-Out: New Strategies for
Effective Parenting in Challenging Times
“Quick,
organized, and a fine line-editor. It’s rare to find an editor who
truly enjoys and excels at the detailed work of line editing and
shaping a manuscript.
Elizabeth does just
that.”—DENISE MARCIL, President, Denise Marcil Literary Agency, Inc.
“Elizabeth Zack is a superb developmental
editor. Her sense of structure and market expectations have
contributed materially to the success of the projects we have worked
on together over the years.” –DIANA FAULHABER, Publisher, American
Dietetic Association
“Elizabeth Zack is an
awesome editor, her instincts flawless, her grasp of material swift
and all-encompassing. (And she has a sense of humor!)
She makes all her authors look good.”—JOAN WESTER
ANDERSON, New York Times best-selling author of Where Angels
Walk
"After researching and speaking with several
potential book editors, I discovered Elizabeth Zack and
BookCrafters. Her high-energy, 'can-do' attitude and in-depth
knowledge of form and structure made all other options irrelevant.
Work was completed on time, below budget and with such ease that the
entire process seemed stress-free, enjoyable and rewarding. If
you are looking for an editor, a relationship and an outstanding
result - look no further." - Bob Scott, author and business
entrepeneur, www.smallbusinesspain.com
"You’ve edited three of my recent health books,
raising the bar each time with excellent editing skills. Both The Sinus Cure
and Making a Baby (Ballantine) are strong sellers on
Amazon.com and other Internet booksellers, and the reviews are
superb.
Elizabeth, if I
ever need an editorial consult, I’ll know where to turn!”—DEBRA
FULGHUM BRUCE, author
"You did an outstanding job for my How to
Stop Heartburn book...I was exceedingly impressed with your
meticulous editing of my manuscript."--Anil Minocha, M.D., author,
Natural Stomach Care
"Elizabeth has been a delight to work with. She is very
professional, prompt, fun to work with, and her skills were
always right on the mark. Her suggestions on the
wording and shaping of the material were always done gently and made
such a difference in the overall feel of my writing...so much so
that my nonfiction proposal was just purchased by McGraw-Hill!
--Sandra Reishus, M.H.S., A.C.S., author of Oh No, I've
Become My Mother! How to Outwit the Mom Gene and Have the Life You
Want
